Bootsy Collins’ Home Studio is a Funk Wonderland


video upload by Reverb

"Bootsy Collins has one of the most distinct bass sounds in all of recorded music and his home studio, the Boot Cave, is where Bootsy workshops his tones and records his records. Whether its the piles of effects pedals, Bernie Worrell's legendary synth setup, or the hordes of priceless memorabilia; Bootsy's Boot Cave is a treasure trove of unbelievably cool gear.

"In this video from Superbooth 2025, Chris Calcutt from Novation presents the latest news from the brand. He highlights the launch of the new Launch Control XL MK3, a MIDI controller with 24 encoders, 8 faders and 16 programmable buttons. This new version includes a display that allows easy visualization of what is being controlled, as well as MIDI output for use with external hardware.

Launch Control XL v3 offers advanced integration with DAWs such as Ableton Live, Logic and Cubase, allowing script-level control. The ability to save up to 15 different configurations makes it extremely versatile. It can be connected to devices such as Circuit Tracks for full access to deep synth parameters directly from the hardware.

Novation Components software allows full customization of all Launch Control XL controls, including high-resolution (14-bit) configurability and hotkey assignment.
The Launch Control XL v3 is expected to hit stores during the summer of 2025.

Also shown is the Launch Key 37, now available in white, unchanged in features but with new aesthetics. In addition, they present the special Swifty edition of the Bass Station 2, with artwork designed by the artist Swifty, who appears in the video making a work for the booth.

From Moog to Teenage Engineering OP-XY: A Messenger-Inspired Jam


video upload by Lo-fi Pask

"Inspired by the announcement of the new Moog Messenger, I set out to craft a track using my Teenage Engineering OP-XY, built entirely from Moog synthesizer samples.
Analog soul meets digital precision — warm, vintage tones reimagined through a cutting-edge portable synth.

This entire piece was composed on a moving train, using the Obscura 76 sound pack — a collection packed with dark textures, retro character, and the unmistakable vibe of classic Moog gears.
The result is a cinematic, introspective soundscape that blends ambient music, experimental electronica, and the freedom of mobile music production.

"If you are looking at this you know what it is. The granddaddy of 80’s era programmable poly synths. This one had a $3k service by Jeff at The Analog Lab (one of the creators of the synth) about 18 months ago and hasn’t left my studio since. This is a hybrid of Revs, between a 2 and a 3 as many are.

Everything works perfectly when controlled by the VPK5. It sounds incredible and has real depth to its programmability. Auto tunes perfect. Comes with the power cord, pdf manual, and I’ve got a hard case that I’ve adapted to ship the VPK5.

One note, some people get a cord adapter to use other midi controllers rather than the VPK5. If you go this route Jeff said the midi notes may hang or be glitchy. There is an early EPROM that he did not have on hand that is needed to swap in to correct that issue. I’ve only used it with the VPK5 so it works 100% as it should. You can keep an eye out for the Rev 2 EPROM if you want to add that functionality. ALL ELSE WORKS PERFECTLY."
